Baby Parse

Fast and reliable CSV parser based on Papa Parse. Papa Parse is for the browser, Baby Parse is for Node.js.

This package has all the functionality of Papa Parse except for web workers and parsing directly from files. You can pass a string to Baby Parse and use any of the other config options as described in the Papa Parse documentation.

Installation

// simply install using npm

npm install babyparse

Basic Usage

// pass in the contents of a csv file

parsed =Baby.parse(csv);

// voila

rows =parsed.data;

Parse File(s)

Baby Parse will assume the input is a filename if it ends in .csv or .txt.

// Parse single file

parsed =Baby.parseFiles(file[, config])

rows =parsed.data

// Parse multiple files

// Files can be either an array of strings or objects { file: filename[, config: config] }

// When using and array of objects and you include a config it will be used in place of the global config

parsed =Baby.parseFiles(files[, globalConfig])

rows = parsed[index].data
